This little guy’s job is pretty straightforward – it opens and closes to let the burned exhaust gases out of the engine cylinder. Think of it like a doorway. When it opens, those gases rush out, and when it closes, it seals everything up so the next intake charge can come in. It works with the camshaft, which times everything perfectly, and it always works alongside the intake valve. They’re a pair. It’s a pretty precise operation, needing to withstand a lot of heat and pressure. It’s a key part of the whole combustion process, really. Without a functioning exhaust valve, the engine simply wouldn’t run efficiently – or at all, honestly. It's part of the cylinder head, so it's right at the heart of what makes your car go. It’s a core component in getting power from the engine to the wheels. It’s crucial because if this valve fails – say it cracks, gets burned, or doesn’t seal properly – you’ll notice if it’s bad. You’ll probably hear a misfire, a loss of power, or even a pretty rough idle. It acts like a shield protecting the rest of the engine from those intense exhaust temperatures. A bad valve can cause all sorts of problems, from reduced fuel economy to serious engine damage if left unchecked. A lot of people find what they need at places like Fixparts Online, but you can get them from a lot of suppliers. Replacing it is often part of a larger valve job, but sometimes just a single valve needs replacing. Dedicated to your needs: Exhaust Valve (MPN 209VA31295000) comes with a 12-month warranty!
